Ready for Summer

I am reasonably ready for summer. I found the screen to cover the back door.

The velcro on the left side is pulling away from the siding. I need to go get more from the craft store, but otherwise, the velcro survived quite well, our nasty winter.

Zeke power washed the deck

and the front steps.

I found the can of front steps paint. I think there is just enough left to add a coat to the steps. Next year's touch up will require a new can.

I like the more natural color of the wood on the deck, now that it's been washed. I'm thinking of trying to match this or go with a clear water repellent. The dark red that the deck has been for years gets really warm and uncomfortable in the summer. This might be a touch cooler.

About Me

It's taken awhile to realize I'm truly in the middle of the ages. I'm a sometimes grown-up but if you want to walk in the rain without an umbrella, I'm all in. I like cats and reading; writing and cooking; chocolate and playing World of Warcraft; hot tea and hot cocoa; the Iowa Hawkeyes and jazz; counted cross-stitch and Scotland; just sitting on the deck doing nothing but sitting and visiting museums to expand my knowledge; watching the sun come up and standing in a cornfield at night trying to find the constellations. Thanks to rheumatoid arthritis, I'm walking a road I didn't expect to be walking, but I'm trying to make that route fun. You'll find I comment on all sorts of things. Thanks for stopping by.
